| I love riding slow and smooth with lots of wake to wake, my bro feels differently. What's everyone's riding style out there?[/list] |

Is tall and goofy a riding style? If so, that's me.
I do like to ride pretty loose, really bent knees but when I'm out of shape it wears me out really fast.
I pretty much only ride cable BTW. |

It sorta depends on how I'm feeling during a particular set, but in general, my riding style is very energetic and a little out of control. I'm still developing the technical precision I need to become the smooth, consistent, stylish rider I want to be.
What I have right now is speed and pop...lots of it! In a typical set, I will go big, crash hard, and hopefully laugh at myself the whole time. I love to mess around with surface tricks and have fun and try not to think about the consequences.

I would love to say I ride like Lyman but I don't...I try to do things big and poke out everything.
My style does seem to change depending on my mood though.
Anyone else change it up a bit depending on how they're feeling? |

w2w, slow and poppy, pokes and tweaks. I'm with you for the less aggressive end of the spectrum. There's still some fun to be had with a fast paced set or pass though

For sure. I usually start out riding pretty fast, going from one thing in to the next quickly. As the set goes I slow down a bit and start to focus more on poking grabs or really pressing noseslides and spinning more slowly with more control. |

Yep, that's me too. Trying to save the knees for another day!
